When I visited the US in 2000 (yep, pre-9/11), everyone was handed a small paper form shortly before landing(!), in the plane, and I distinctly remember that checkbox asking me if I am planning any illegal or terrorist activity after entering the country.
I still do not understand its purpose. I honestly don’t.
I’ve heard it explained as a way to make your sentence harsher in case you are a terrorist and get caught. not only you were planning to do bad things, but also LIED about it to the GUBMENT. DOUBLE CRIME
Thanks, that sounds plausible enough for me. Has Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking vibes, bureaucracy would love this, so I shall accept this as fact henceforth, and indulge my confirmation bias!
